PCE Instruments UK Ltd: Thanks to a wind logger, no on-site personnel is necessary anymore

Southampton Hampshire, 2012-06-13. The PCE-WL wind logger is an essential device regarding wind energy. The new PCE-WL2 wind logger from PCE Instruments UK is applied to check in advance if it is worth constructing a wind power plant in certain regions. The wind situation power plant in certain regions. The wind situation
is measured and analyzed with the help of the logger. The measured values for wind speed and wind direction are stored on a normal SD-Card so they can be analyzed on a computer. Due to the IP65 standard, the logger is also waterproof. Moreover, with integrated heating, the logger can guarantee reliable measurements regardless of the weather conditions, for example in winter with harsh weather conditions (for this, power supply must be provided). With a weight of only 450 g and dimensions of 160 x 80 x 55 mm, the instrument is easy to transport. With the integrated wind sensor, the data logger measures wind speed and wind direction. Furthermore, the cups of the wind energy data logger are equipped with Reed relay which guarantees a long life-time, as there is almost no wear. In addition to the possibility of transferring the data via SD-Card, the new PCE-WL 1 possesses an RS-232 interface where a USB cable can be connected.

The affordable data loggers of PCE Instruments UK, which can capture different signals over a certain period of time, are ideal for wind energy applications. Long-term recordings of measuring parameters can be taken anywhere, aided by its programmable processor, internal storage, different interfaces and input channels for the connection of different sensors.
